Ben Munisteri is a good-’ole-Brooklyn boy. His grandparents lived in Bay Ridge. He grew up in Park Slope, where his family still lives. He attended P.S. 321 and middle school at Saint Ann’s until his parent’s divorce, and his excellent scores sent him to Stuyvesant High School. For Munisteri Brooklyn and New York City is the norm; his friends tell him he has no idea how different it is from the rest of the country.
